The company I am working at has a model 170 rates at 450/70 and has run out of disk space so want to upgrade teh AS400. They have found a model 800 rated at 950/50 and need to know if this would be OK - the interactive CPW is less but the BAtch CPW is a lot more. The memory on the 800 is double that of the 170.
The alternative is a model 810 rated at 1470/1470 which would obviously be better but is 3 times the price and the FD is asking how much of an effect the model 800 would have - would anyone actually notice the difference?
There are 28 JDE Users and a bespoke package rinning on the AS400 but that is all batch processing.
We asked JDE (Oracle) who told us to ask IBM who said the 800 only runs at 5/7th of the power of the 170 in interactive mode so we should get an 810.
Any advice would be appreciated.
